Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Excellent! I hate to see a leak right after doing a job like that.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Picked up a very nice cherry picker last night to assist with the '72 front end swap. No Origami folding monkeys here...this thing is substantial.
I had a guy offer to rent it from me on the drive home...makes it an even better investment! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Dash is in. Now all that is left is the rest. wiring is not something I have experience in so it takes a lot longer than I would like.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Cleaned the old 1975 454 I have for the build... looks great although there is a tear down/build up in the future...

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Picked up the front end from a 72 C10, with torsion bar. Looks like plenty of life left in those rotors, had factory AC/Delco shocks on it so maybe low miles. Gets a power wash this morning and start pulling it apart.
Also scored a nice collapsible tilt-column out of a 67 Riviera with a floor shifter. Was a good day for parts. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Yeah, I think he meant sway bar. But technically the sway bar works under torsion.

Yes, sway bar, correct.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Installed Hood Brace Pad kit, adding a little quiet to the rolling oil drum.
Took a flat screwdriver to the front end yesterday, scraped a couple decades of mud and gook off the thing, then turned the power washer loose on it. Next is to pull the calipers and rotors and start ordering parts. All the steering joints feel solid and move free, all rubber is intact, ball joints feel pretty good too, but need to pull it apart anyway. |
